pention certificate was sent with her application. John Williams was her Attorney, said Goodall had Children and heirs at law by a former wife none by his last wife Betsey  1853 . By an act of Congress passed February 3 rd 1853 granting pentions to widows without reference to date of marriage the widow of Nathan Goodale never drew her pention according to said act of Congress. The heirs at law of James  1853 Nathan Goodale by former wife and the heirs at law of Betsey Goodale by former husband would beg leave to ask which of said heirs if any of them would be the lawful heirs to make said application.
